Palma Bay presented its best conditions for the large final of the 52 Super Series PalmaVela Sailing Week. Winds in the 20's
knots and big waves fired the first event of the season with three fast tests that allowed the Turkish Provides to complete a
spectacular dating back, proclaiming the event winner and becoming the leader of the Circuit

The first manga of the day resulted in a master lesson from Quantum Racing. The ship led by Víctor Díaz de León and named by Harry Melges had no rival, imposing for almost a minute on his immediate persecutor, the American also Interlodge. A result that allowed Quantum Racing to place itself as a solid leader in front of the provisional and dream of a new title.

In the second, the British Gladiator hit the left end of the line and sailed without any opposition from the first step by buoy to achieve his second partial victory of the week. Platoon Aviation signed an excellent second in front of Sled, while Quantum Racing remained at the top of the classification by the minimum despite signing a discreet eighth.

The emotion was maximum, and the first title of 2024 was to be solved in the seventh and final race of the championship. Vayu, typed by the former Thai champion of Optimist, Noppakao Poonpat, was the best of the first stretch. From behind, an inspired and motivated Protenzza seemed to fly.

They would follow him on the line of arrival Alegre and Interlodge.

The second was a monologue of Alegre.
